WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:
  • Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

  • Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

  • Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

  • Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Misplaced Pages, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

  • Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Misplaced Pages than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

the lineage

I have done my own work and found the Tut was son of KV55, who is either of two possibilities: if the skull is old, it is likely that of Akhenaten, however there are Forensic examiners who independently claim the skull is young and if so would therefore be Smenkhkare, youngest son of Queen Tiye, the mother of KV35YL. Secondly: If Kiya's image was replaced in the Amarna Sunshade with that of Merytaten, they were equals where KV35YL must then be Kiya as all possible attending attributes coincide. - Robert Cole 2600:6C8A:7000:35:315E:C619:218D:500E (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Tutankhamun. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

In 2024, based on archaeological and scientific evidence the Egyptologist Martin Bommas identified the father of Tutankhamun as Smenkhkare and his mother as Beketaten, The Younger Lady . 196.150.203.108 (talk) 11:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
